    I’m going to spoil this even though it is not a spoiler anymore, because some of you don’t like reddit stuff. Pretty crazy clue if true that was given to us.

    Ok someone on reddit called this awhile back due to the name of Laurie’s dildo. It’s called Excalibur or the EX of Cal Abar

    I was referring to the part about Dr. Manhattan knowing what is to come and Angela trying to change it anyway.

    Elephants are known to have great memory I believe. So maybe to synthesize all her funky memory drugs she uses elephant DNA?

    Real Sports did a segment on trophy hunting in Africa and they went to an elephant orphanage for the calves left behind after their parents were poached. They talked about how the orphans suffered from PTSD and took years to recover. I can't find the exact clip, but at minute five of this one they talk a bit about how good their memories are:



    It's a great segment btw. Fuck trophy hunters :angry:

    Ok last one :tebow:

    I understand that, but in the context of not seeing him it is easily forgotten with the reveal of who he is and that he has been somewhat dormant for the past however many years.

    So lady Trieu's daughter is her mother (I thought it was a clone of herself but this makes it more interesting), and she mentions her father will be there soon.

    Are we thinking it's
    Dr Manhattan or Veidt?

    I think Veidt. Why else does she have a statue of him? I also think the statue may actually really be him in some suspended form. I feel like they may have dropped multiple hints if that is the case. I am assuming he arrived when the thing landed on the property she had just purchased.

    Another interesting thing is that Lindelof said that each time we see Veidt, one year has passed from the previous year. So it's possible that Veidt isn't even on Europa in 2019.

    Also what if Veidt got bronzed and banished back to Earth and that is what we saw fall into the farmers yard immediately after Lady Trieu "bought" it from them?

    Love this show

    Regardless, Im betting that Lady Trieu is the true villain. A la Veight in the OG Watchmen.

    Lady Trieu was a real person in Vietnamese culture.

    In the 3rd century she fought back the Chinese invaders while riding an elephant into battle. Folklore was she became immortal after she died.

    A curiosity I have is how the 7th K found out Cal was DM. I haven’t watched the preview so maybe it was hinted, but I’m struggling to figure out how.

    Probably something from the captain since he was involved for sure now with 7th Calvary and close to Angela and cal.

    Could he have used the mind control light stuff on Angela when she was in the hospital and she told him about everything? I feel that him being the only one by her side when she got injured is fishy now.

    The initial attack on the cops was clearly orchestrated by Crawford and Keene to enact the DoPA. How they knew about Cal prior to that or what their endgame for capturing him is still a mystery to me.
    That was incredible.

    I wonder if Abdul-Mateen is gonna play the Manhattan in the next episode. I know he’ll be involved somehow because of the voiceover but I’d hope he gets more of a send-off than a hammer to the dome.

    Could Trieu’s clock be something that releases Viedt from the statue or something?

    I kind of hope so but kind of don’t. That would make sense and fit in with Laurie commenting how hot he was multiple times. But then again, wouldn’t the whole world be like, “holy shit, it’s a non blue glowing Doc M” whenever they saw him?

    A question I had that may be too in the weeds or may get explained. In next weeks preview Jon said he fell in love with Angela when she tried to save him and failed (next weeks plot I’d assume). But I thought he couldn’t see the future past Veidt’s squid attack due to the psychic blast it caused. Maybe the further out from that event he regained that ability?

    One cool thing they snuck in there is that Cal was reading For Whom the Bells Tolls when Angela was rooting around for a hammer. Now you guys know I hate spoilers BUT the epigraph of the book, from which the title derives, is a poem about how all mankind is interconnected or, dare I say, tangled. That’s a pretty cool literary parallel and I’m excited to see if it’s built upon further

    Prediction: The Watchmen ends with Laurie and Dan in a cab. A policeman (face now uncovered) is directing traffic with a giant, blue baton.

    what I mean is, one of the things Lost did all the time was use books as props and the contents of the books often gave deeper meaning to the scene.

    there was a Lost review I commonly read that would deal almost exclusively with examining the meaning of literature featured in the episodes.

    What I meant was whether or not Lost overused or leaned to heavily on literary references but I guess it doesn’t matter in episode 7/8 of 9.

    I wouldn't say they leaned heavily. they were more like easter eggs for obsessed viewers to think about between episodes. casual viewers probably didn't even notice.

    The show hasn't revealed how Angela and Cal survived the "White Night." My guess is the Manhattan side of Cal revealed himself to save her.

    Manhattan revealing himself changed all the plans Cyclops had moving forward. That's why Jane Crawford said the original plan was to make Keene President, but things changed and now they are thinking bigger.

    Why Manhattan didn't just eliminate everyone who had anything to do with Cyclops I have no idea, but I'm fairly sure we will see things had to happen this way for whatever reason.

    Baby Act violation incoming:

    Veidt gets another anniversary cake next time we see him and finally gets whatever implement Crookshanks kept giving him at the wrong time to escape.

    Also, not sure if the timelines line up but maybe Manhattan vanishes Veidt so that he could return to earth to live with Angela. Guess we’ll find out soon
